Abstract
A method for testing a keyboard complied with a language code table comprises the steps of reading an embedded language code of the keyboard to be tested through a central processing unit (CPU), comparing the read language code with the language code table stored in memory in order to determine whether there is a matched one, reading an application program interface (API) function from the keyboard to be tested by the CPU, identifying a type of the keyboard to be tested by a “Get Keyboard Type” of the API function, reading exchange codes of special keys from the keyboard to be tested by the CPU, identifying a model of the keyboard to be tested, selecting a keyboard test software corresponding to the language code, the type, and the model of the keyboard to be tested from a test software database stored in memory, and performing a test on each key on the keyboard by the selected keyboard test software. This may avoid an error determination of keyboard to be tested due to the inappropriate use of test software.
